Abstract The unfolding high-speed railway (HSR) network is expected to have a great impact on Chinese cities. This paper discusses the international experience of the direct and indirect development effects of the HSR network on cities at the regional, urban and station-area level. It then discusses the potential development implications and planning challenges for China by translating the international experience into a Chinese context. Finally, future topics for research are identified.
